Judging by the picture I'm sure that you can figure out my main trade priority for the Browns would be to acquire David Carr from the Texans. Rumor has it that they are shopping him for a 4th round pick which I would delightfully pay to have him on the Browns. I would even be willing to do it for a later 3rd rounder assuming the Browns could trade down and acquire one. His arm is a cannon and he can make every throw, which is a far cry from the weak arm of Charlie Frye. Derek Anderson may have just as strong an arm, but Carr is much more accurate, consistently completing over 60% of his passes, including a 68% this past year, despite playing on an inferior offense. The knock on Carr was the sacks, but those were mostly due to very poor line play. I believe the Browns could significantly upgrade their line through free agency and the draft enough to protect his life and health in the pocket.
Another interesting trade target would be Jerry Porter, WR, Oakland, who is rumored to be had for as little as a 6th or 7th rounder. I realize he may have some personal baggage with his open feuds with Raiders management, but isn't everyone trying to get out of Oakland these days. When a 30-something assistant college coach with no head coaching experience turns down the head job at one's operation, said team is in serious trouble. Porter is a much better player that can likely be had in the 6th or 7th round and would give the Browns a guy to push Edwards and provide deep speed without having to use a first day pick on a WR. If he doesn't work out, cut him early and it will end up a wash.
